Re: Hotkey for GND Handling

Have you tried DatarefTool or Dataref Editor?Send me a PM with what you want to do and I can give you the lua. I may already have it.

I don't think there is any dataref capable of interacting with internal workings of a plugin (ie. show/hide certain plugin window). At least not according to the official dataref documentation. I'm not sure if plugins can even establish their own public datarefs. As far as I know datarefs are public variables for interacting with xplane engine. Correct me if I'm wrong though, I'd certainly be happy if a simple lua script was capable of this. Creating custom keybind is of course not a problem in LUA (and it's not even a problem for plugins either, simple matter of registering the hotkey and a callback function).

Well, there is a custom dataref for the GPU (sim/custom/xap/elec/gpu_here) and one for External Power (sim/custom/xap/elec/gpu_on) that allow me to connect and disconnect the GPU and turn on/off external power with a button on my TM Cougar MFD using a small FWL function.You can find some lua support files here:

Re: Hotkey for GND Handling

This is the most awe inspiring thing I have ever read and feel truly overwhelmed with gratitude not just for your presence at the retreat but also your ability to put into words what it meant to you. --------------------Putlocker, 123movies
